SOIL COMPARISON

The FTS Soil Comparison test is designed to challenge the forensic trace evidence analyst or geologist who characterizes and compares soil samples to determine whether two samples could have a common origin.  Samples consist of unhomogenized soil samples.  Analysts are asked to determine if there is an association or elimination between the samples.  All distributed samples are examined and compared by a court qualified forensic geologist to ensure homogeneity and composition of the test samples.
